OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY ON SATURDAY
Please bring your personal Rosaries to Mass on Saturday and place them on

it this coming Saturday, 6 October.
WHAT
DO ANGELS LOOK LIKE?
Like the little old lady who returned your wallet yesterday.
Like the taxi driver who told you that your eyes light up the world when you
smile.
Like the small child who showed you the wonder in simple things.
Like the poor man who offered to share his lunch with you.
Like the rich man who showed you that it really is all possible if only you
believe.
Like the stranger who just happened to come along when you had lost your way.
Like the friend who touched your heart when you didn't think you had one.
Angels come in all sizes and shapes, all ages and skin types.
Some with freckles, some with dimples, some with wrinkles, some without.
They come disguised as friends, enemies teachers, students, lovers and fools.
They don't take life too seriously; they travel light.
They leave no forwarding address; they ask nothing in return.
They are hard to find when your eyes are closed but when you choose to see,
they are everywhere you look.
So, open you eyes and count all your Angels -- for you are truly blessed!

PRAYER
TO YOUR GUARDIAN ANGEL
Angel of God, my guardian dear To whom His love commits me here Ever this day be at my side To light and guard, to rule and guide Amen |
 |
JUST
FOR A LAUGH …
Here are some real prayers written by schoolchildren.
Dear God, in school they told us what you do. Who does it when you are on
holiday? - Jane
Dear God, instead of letting people die and having to make new ones, why don't
you just keep the ones you have now? - Jane
Dear God, What does it mean you are a jealous God? I thought you had everything.
- Rebecca
Dear God, Thank you for the baby brother but what I prayed for was a puppy.
- Joyce
Dear God, Maybe Cain and Abel would not kill each other so much if they had
their own rooms. It works with my brother. - Larry

KNIT AND KNATTER
Don't feel alone during the long winter months. Please come along and join
us in the Snug on a Wednesday afternoon between 1.00 and 3.00pm. Spend some
enjoyable time knitting - tuition is available - and "knattering"
over a cup of tea and coffee. Needles and wool will be provided free of charge.

when required. A suggested donation of £1 towards the Church maintenance
would be appreciated. All are welcome!
FINANCES
Bankers Orders for the Parish and Parish Centre amount to £3500 per
month. We are grateful for your generous support in collections. If you can
manage a little more from time to time, it would be a great help. A Standing
Order would make the handling of money so much easier. Have you signed a Gift
Aid form? If you are a taxpayer the Church would get 25p added to every £1
you donate.
COLLECTIONS
Last weekend's Offertory collection amounted to £637.31 and the Maintenance
Fund collection to £292.75 - thanks.

Centre by Maria Boyle's team.

will be on sale in the porch and foyer after both weekend Masses from members

The celebration of the sixtith anniversary of the foundation of the Saint
Teresa's parish will take place at 11.30am Mass on Sunday 30 September followed

GIFT AID
The Inland Revenue now requires us to use a new style of Gift
Aid form. These are available at the back of the Church and on the parish
website. If you pay tax, please complete the new form and return it to the
box provided. This allows us to provide the additional information required
on the Gift Aid claim. Gift Aid is a vital source of income. All that is needed
is that you pay tax. You simply declare that you give funds to the Church.
We do the rest. Why not sign a form today? We get back an extra 25p for every
£1 you give the Church in your weekly collection or by way of a donation.
There is no need to cancel or renew it. We simply claim in the income we receive.
VISITORS
Are you visiting us for Holy Mass? Please know that you are very welcome.
During the 10.30 am Holy Mass outwith holidays, there is a Children’s Liturgy
provided for preschool children, children in Primaries 1 to 3 and a Sacramental
Programme for children in Primary 4. After the 10.30 am Holy Mass, tea, coffee
cakes and buns are available in the Parish Centre. At both of our weekend
Holy Masses, we have a second collection for Church maintenance.
ADVERTISER SUPPORT
Our advertisers would welcome your support. We are grateful for their continuing
sponsorship. We are grateful for the support of Mr and Mrs Sohal, Nisa Stores,
Glasgow Street for the weekly donation of tea, coffee and milk for the Sunday
teas.
